Biochem/physiol Actions

Human leukocyte antigen A class I downregulation is implicated in tumor invasion and development. Genetic variations in the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is associated with the development of melanoma. HLA-viral peptide interaction plays a major role in the regulation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

General description

Human leukocyte antigen A classical class I family consists of three members including HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C. Members of classical class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) contain a peptide bound to a transmembrane glycoprotein subunit, the heavy chain, in association with a soluble light chain called β2-microglobulin. Class I MHC molecules are present in changeable volumes on all nucleated cells.

The antibody W6/32 recognises MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ia) that are expressed on the surface of all human nucleated cell types. The antibody W6/32 is a valuable reagent for analysing variations in HLA class I expression in different disease states e.g. liver disease, muscular dystrophy, inflammatory myopathy and other neuromuscular disorders.
